| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Donald S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I first noticed it when it was almost behind me. The ground lit up with the shadow of trees, like a bright flashlight or full moon moving above around behind me, but only a small patch of lignt a few yards across. I turned and saw the meteor, it went over the horizon of the hill and trees behind me. A few minutes later, there was a low rumbling boom, like thunder, but that may have been something else. |
